What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

...I recognize that butte @ the top right

 

Yeah Plasti dip haha I don't really want to paint them because My paint is in horrible condition except on the passenger side front and I don't want it mismatched

 

Yeah, I guess I forgot how many high peaks there are in your area

 

Got the first coat of black on the skid:

 

I almost wish i waited until winter to get my KM2's so i could see how they handled pre-siping to satisfy my curiosity. Happy i did get them done though. Looks like i'll be able to test them out tomorrow judging by the storm front moving through. Really wish i was still in my hometown 2.5 hours north. Would love to wake up to 2ft. on the ground!

 

Why did you switch them out?

 

The Heims 7100s come with are for 1/2'' bolts. Stock mounts are 18mm so they won't fit.

 

Oh didn't think about that, i relocated mine when i put them in.

 

Ah yes, I remember this chore.


Obligatory Christmas wreath!

 

Replaced the plunger and contacts in the starter. 15 bucks and 2 hours to finish the job.

 

Ive done my contacts a couple times now. Original starter 250k+ miles

 

Installed new rear brake shoes yesterday afternoon in the apartment parking lot.

 

I noticed this on mine as well and the oil has not started to run down as these. 10k and its traveled 3" down the tube. Is this normal or expected? 2000 of those miles were on light off-road use and not driven as if it's a trophy truck.

 

Got my lift put on the other day. Eibach/5100s in the front with OMD Mod springs and 5125s in the rear

After:

 

Your turn Bo

 

I wish it was! The only before and after I have is from the day I bought it:



To how it sits currently:



All I've done to it so far is adjustable Bilstein 5100's up front set to 1.25", 265/75/16 Nitto Terra Grapplers, painted stock wheels gunmetal, derped the bumpers, de-badged, put in a system (Alpine 147-BTE, Alpine 6X8's all around, MTX 500.1 amp, Audibahn shallow mount 10" sub). Next on my list is sound deadening in the cab, then Wet Okole's. Theeeen I'll do a lift and tires. I want to get creature comforts out of the way first.

EDIT: and the blinker light relocation mod.

 

Truck does look good though man. My next mods consist of wet okole's too as well as 33x12.50s, regear, and plate bumpers

 

Thanks man! If my wallet allows, it's got a long way to go! 33's will set your truck off! I read through the Wet Okole Group Buy, and everyone said they make a huge difference as far as seat comfort. I think SeattleCoug told me the lumber support is phenomenal. Matter of fact, they have another GB coming up in the spring...

 

Yea my friend tacoterror has a set and they are so comfortable. We better jump on that
